Love it.

Thanks for the link - I didn't see any posting so I'll just put it here again; Team Turquoise: 100 squats 30 pushups 0 crunches...

I don't know where the group posts are - or even what they are.

Team Turquoise! Crunches: 90 Pushups: 40 Squats: 60

Team Tourqoise! (is that how you spell that?.. oh well) I didn't log in yesterday but I did it : 40 push ups 70 squats 55 crunches Today, I'm not feeling well so I may get some in tonight...but we'll see.

Whew! Just did it after doing 30 day shred...I didn't realize this would take almost as long! Oh well - first workout in about a week so I really needed it!

I'm totally in ! Does this new challenge start today?

I'm back from my kitchen renovation hiatus and need a challenge! When does the next weekly challenge begin or did I miss it??

mix 1 cup oat flour with one egg and 1 cup milk - use this batter to make crepes. About two tablespoons on a hot pan, shake around a bit and voila! Add some fruit and ricotta cheese in the center. SUPER GOOD!

Eat your exercise calories!! I know, you've probably heard that before, but it's so true. I completely stop losing weight if I don't. And actually, if I have one or two days where I go over my calorie limit (1200 per day, so sometimes I go up to 1700 or so) I lose more weight...and I feel better. I can't explain it, it…

checking in with 456 calories so far this week - I'm off to a slow start but I think I"ll be able to catch up - is the week over on Monday? Great job on your weight loss - that's super awesome! I trying desperately to get out of the 130's...it's taking FOREVER. 4 more lbs to go.

I was out for the weekend but I'm back! Here's my trouble right now...on Saturday I cut the tip of my finger off with a knife, it's pretty ugly. What kind of exercise can I do? I typically run or do Jillian Michaels, but I can't lift weights right now ( I can barely type.) and I'm worried that running will get my blood…

I can't believe I said I'm 27! That's crazy. No, I'm 29. Wow, I wrote that and reread it and didn't even blink an eye. I'm in denial that I'm turning 30 in 6 month.

I'm late to the party! I just saw that you created a new thread! Alright, My name is Jenny - you can call me Jenny and not JenKaMac...I live in Washington State and I am 27 and married to my college sweetheart and we have two fat cats! My husband is a videographer and I am a performer and a private voice and piano coach. I…

I'm definitely in!

one final question for me: for this coming Monday the 19th, should we input the total miles we "hope" to accomplish that week - since the challenge starts that day we won't have logged any miles yet. Does that make sense? Thanks!

oh yeah, and I'm doing 4 miles today to start!

I would really like to join! I need some extra motivation for sure. My current weight is 134.5 so my 5% would be 6.7 lbs, but let's just say 7lbs. So, 127.5 - that would be amazing! Please include me!

my recent favorite - and since it's summer time and this is a fresh choice - is corn on the cob (cut if off so you have a bowl of kernels), black beans, avocado and lime juice and salt. It's amazing. I do not cook my corn - I take it fresh off the cob, it's juicier and I think much tastier that way. I either eat this on…

I think she meant 1200 / day, not week! I'm 134 but a little shorter and I'm at 1200 per day.

I'm taking my friend out for her birthday tonight - it's red wine and maybe a gin and tonic or something like that. I can still drink if I want - just make better choices. Don't just not go. That's lame.

It's really geared for just about everyone. She does modifications on everything for people that aren't quite up for the real deal. It kicks your butt, but it's supposed to. It probably will be hard the first few times but your body will start to adapt. Do it, it's totally worth it. Start with 1 and stick with it for a…

Wow you look great! And your post was very inspirational - thanks for those words. You're so right, it does take serious commitment. Congratulations to you and the new life you have begun - what a transformation in 6 months, you should be VERY proud.

added! :)

eat your exercise calories! 1200 calories is day is the MINIMUM you eat - if you are burning 500 calories you are only consuming 700 calories. Your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto everything you eat. You will not lose weight. Seriously, eat more. Doesn't that sound great?? It's true. Don't give up - what…

you look great! I can definitely see a huge difference in your shoulders!

not go over my calorie limit!!

Go!!! It's not realistic to think that just because you are trying to lose weight / trying to maintain weight that you cannot go out and be social and enjoy yourself. If you restrict yourself too much you will end up rebelling eventually and putting it all back on. Live your life. Eat more than you should every once in a…

I can sure see it in your photos!! I'm sure you'll start to feel it more as time goes on. For the time being be happy that clothes fit better, other people see it and you're a lot healthier!

Doing the 30 day shred should be done every day if possible without breaks - especially since they are relatively short exercises. I say if you are doing the 30 day shred and monitoring your calories, that should be enough. Remember, losing weight is all about calories taken in for the day so if you are maintaining a good…
